I went to the market to get some food
For some vegetables soon to be stewed
I picked up a tomato
Along with a potato
But with no money a foot chase ensued...

A Cinquain.

Once a young man from Bodoni
Owned an old, dappled pony.
And he rode to see the show.
Twas Emperors' new clothes.
Said, That's a vanity Felony....

You can burn a book,
but never burn its truth
The flames sear the meaning,
tattooed at the root

Dousing this sacrilege,
my felony went untried
Escaping with the Muse in tow
—a fugitive decried

Rhyme is a crime,
A misdemeanor or more.
And cadence is worse—a rhythmical verse
Is a felony critics abhor.

“Love” gets a shove
In the ash-can where Beauty “belongs”.
Psychosis is “in”—optimism’s a sin:
Down the toilet with heart wringing songs!...

The tongue
Like the pen
Or the key board
Or the type writer
Will
sooner or later
become a gun
Aimed at the heart
Always ready to go off.
When it does
You must learn to call the lightless room of the soul
A natural home
Or lose your name in the felony of art....

Great Trump Swamp Poem

Finally Friday and another felony found;
With Trump as President we were bound;
In swamp with reeds;
Wind guides and leads;
Fool like him at we again all had frowned.

It's 86 degrees, I'm sitting in the car waiting for my wife
A guy comes up and asks where my owner is, this could cost him his life
It can be looked on as homicide essentially
It definitely should be treated at least like a felony
Fortunately, my owner came back and avoided more strife...

Marvel at man's creation
But do so at your own discretion 
For men is not without fault 
And his appraisal, yourself shall mold
He is the fall to many a things
And to countless felony is he complicit
But fret not, fear thou be
He is not all without saving grace 
After all...he shall be he's own undoing...

Standing commissioned, 
A coffee and a croissant, 
Hot and black, or light and sweet.
Insistent, startled and
Hands in pocket:
Smelling like crack smoldering in a stem. 
Eyes dancing like nervous grapes,
Dressed head to toe 
In high yella Virginia zoot suit,
The, aging to be honest, 
Resistant to genuine disease,
Anyman, anytime, USA....

fiery face felony
bursting bounty blitzkrieg
hoisted feelings foster
per punctured prayer
squashed emotions smeared
oceanic pelvic peered

airy instrument inking
pulpy parts bleeding
callous concerto cussing

lusty lips picked
leering lyrics cupped -
bleeding blur blush

mystic melody moans
mushy maiden's fault.

*Tainted Tongue*

turbulent torrent puking
rustic waves, feigning
passion gulping gaunt
horizon; hoisted bow
receding thuds pounding
punctured mists mumbling

thirty one years
creature in tier;
human, ape, bear

bounty beards blushing
farcical feets' felony
trudged earth moaning

sans tamed language
yet Island's sage.

vying voluptuous veil
callous crest crave
hoisted zeal healed
tuning taunted creaks
dark dribbles drooled
gaunt gores puked

gullible guts grieved
sassy surges unleashed
crushing cupping creed

lanky limbs seeped'n
fostered felony feats
fuming fiery feet

rusty roar bruised
crescendos cremating cruise.

Earthquake
  
  There is a lot of mumbling and shaking
  Can`t you all see?
  Blind bats agonize thee?
  What a felony of misfit

  Where is the earthquake?
  Can`t you all see?
  Diminishing reasons beyond thee.
  Stopping all you thought of me!

  I see the earthquake
  Shaking so hard, moron!
  Leave all to thee, you think?
  Agonizing indeed we see....

Two shoplifters, when they were caught,
Stealing items they just should have bought,
Fought their felony charge
For their total was large,
Adding up to much more than they’d thought.

See, their sentence, the thieves had deduced,
When the charges had been introduced,
Should be lessened, to scale,
Since just items on sale
Had been stolen, their prices reduced.

skeptical swollen sore
garnishing gaunt gores
damped dungs dripping
flawed flavor fermenting
airy atmosphere puking
taunted translation trailing

burnished body brooding
felony fluid fiddling
dark desires dangling

scared emotions moistened
sumptuous sanity slackened
luminous lust darkened

amaranthine ambiguity flickering
vile vision smirking.

felony figs feigning
pulpy punctured probity
mystic mist moaning
purpled eyes receding
damped desire drooping
salient severity scrunching

two temerarious Varmints -
callous ensconced embroidery
skins sans salmagundi

lusty leery lurching -
atuned atmosphere aiding
cranky coup clustering

chaetophorous Chipmunk saw,
pronto pram's metamorphose.

What a way to bless me..!!
With all goodwill of thee.
Methinks thou are my Lord,
Of generations that chord.
On this auspicious day I,
Implore thee to let me vie.
With the competitors many,
Cunning, crafty and felony.
May you be my guide and,
I'm relieved and withstand.
The form of divinity true,
Thou are my Lord in to-to.
In distant places we dwell,
But the kinship rocks well..!...

severed passion bleeding
mystic mucus. Brooding
punctured passion pruning
sour sorrow's verses.
Torn tainted translation
met smothered elation

void, castrated cubicle
damped by debacles;
lofty lust's oracle

callous hoisted heat
slew per licking
moistened mystical memories

felony familiar eyes
feign vile vice.

saucy sun scourged
grazing gaunt gores
dark drooling dug
fiery felony gulped
eerie entourage etched'n
cruising callous crest

punctured past wept
taunting tuning test
la-de-da lust lent

receding dawn rusted
reeling rays busted
cruise bruised rugged

felon funeral fetched
masticated mosaic melted.

Note: Of punctured picture. Inspired by a shot I took 5:44pm today....
